DF Community Games & Stories / Organizing a free collaborative project to create DF short/audio/video story
« on: February 18, 2012, 11:55:26 am »
I'm trying to organize a free collaborative project with the aim of creating a Dwarf Fortress short story in text, audio, comic, and animation form, and am looking for visual and musical artists, voice actors/narrators, writers, audio engineers/sound designers, animators, editors, and whatever else we figure out we'll need along the way.
The first thing to do is to locate an acutal game to base the story on(No, not Boatmurdered), for which I will rely on the DF community to locate. Once that is accomplished the writing process will take place, assisted by voice actors to try hitting the length goal, while the visual musical artists come up with a style for the story. Once the script is finished the visual and audio/voice-acting/narration aspects become the primary focus, with the musical process continuing alongside. At this point everything will start to converge with the end result of producing, in order of priority, a short story, an audio story, a comic, and an animated story. Post-processing, combining the voice acting, music, audio engineering/sound design, and animation if that is accomplished, will then be the last step before the finished product.
The initial goal is to produce a short story and a 30 minute audio story, but this is obviously something we can scale up or down based on what we feel we can accomplish. As I have little experience with comics I don't know how that would translate into comic form, so I rely on those with that knowledge to accomplish this. I again have no experience with animation and am equally ignorant of the work required in that department, so input is needed here as well.
What is needed:
Management crew
Writers
Voice actors with access to good recording equipment
Musicians with access to good recording equipment
Sound designers with access to good recording equipment and/or sound libraries
Visual artists for the comic and animation
Audio and Video Editors with access to good editing tools
People who think they have a useful skill or just helpful input
The "base of operations" for the project is currently The Neutral Zone on Reddit.
Right now I'm intending to assist with the writing and video editing, which is what I have experience with, as well as taking care of the logistics of this thing and attempted management.
